Deriv MT5 demo account FAQs

How does MT5 differ from MT4?

MT5 was developed as an improved and more advanced version of MT4, offering the following additional features and capabilities for traders:

  • Asset classes: MT4 predominantly focuses on Forex pairs and a limited selection of other CFDs. In contrast, MT5 broadens its scope by including forex, stocks, indices, bonds, cryptocurrencies, and commodities.
  • Position hedging: MT4 permits only one position per symbol, whereas MT5 supports multiple positions on the same symbol and simultaneous Buy and Sell positions for hedging.
  • Timeframes: MT4 offers nine timeframes for chart analysis, ranging from one minute to one month. MT5 provides 21 timeframes, affording greater flexibility in analyzing price data, especially beneficial for technical analysis.
  • Technical indicators: MT4 comes with 30 built-in technical indicators for chart analysis. In comparison, MT5 offers a wider selection of 38 built-in technical indicators and 44 graphical tools.
  • Depth of market (DOM) data: MT4 lacks Depth of Market data, while MT5 incorporates this feature, allowing traders to view bid and ask prices at various levels in the order book.
